Mobilising For Failure - The Economic Transition to War and how Nations get it Wrong

Video Description

Sponsored by Odoo - https://www.odoo.com/r/IP8 Most of us instinctively understand the idea of peace and war economies. The difference between the two reflects the fact that under ordinary circumstances, you probably want people focusing on things other than just turning out as many munitions as possible. But how do you move from one to the other? And why do nations so often get it so badly wrong. From supply chain seizures to a surge in corruption, in this episode I go through some common ways the transition to war process can fail, setting us up for a future episode on a topic that's arguably even more important. How can you avoid the pitfalls and make sure you get it right?
